Pop A Cork

The challenge we're having this week at Stamps R Us is themed Birthdays! Our sponsor is The Paper Shelter. Our challenge is a little different this time. The theme is to make a birthday card for Operation Write Home. Make an A2 sized birthday card using any products for your cards except glitter and send it to one of the Operation Write Home shippers listed on the Operation Write Home main blog. You have two weeks to submit your creation to Stamps R Us Challenges - and who knows....you may be the winner of a wonderful prize package from The Paper Shelter.

This was one of the Pre-Colored images we received from The Paper Shelter to showcase our cards for this challenge. Trust me - there's no way I could have colored it this pretty. Using a pre-colored imaged was a "first" for me but I enjoyed using it. I think if you're in a hurry to make a card for someone this is the route to go. When I saw this image I thought of a young boys birthday card - and then I turned it around and added this sentiment so I could use it for an adults card. Kathy had sent me this piece of DP not long ago and I paired it with some Pacific Point (embossed with the Swiss Dots folder) from SU. To give it more of a western feel I added the burlap fabric behind the main image and the square brads.

Thanks for stopping by............and be sure and check out Stamps R Us Challenges - and show us your Birthday creations!
